Exploring the Building Systems of Beaver Mountain
Designing and building your custom home is an investment in your lifestyle and legacy. At Beaver Mountain, we specialize in helping clients create distinctive homes that reflect their personal taste, suit their land, and perform beautifully in the Northeast’s rugged climate. Whether you’re dreaming of a traditional log home, a versatile timber frame, or a custom hybrid, we offer expert guidance, premium materials, and full-service design—including architectural planning, engineering, and interior selections—to make your vision a reality.
With over 40 years of experience in custom home design across the Northeast, we offer a range of construction styles and architectural approaches—each tailored to your site, lifestyle, and long-term goals.
Let’s explore the different types of homes we specialize in—and what makes each one unique.
Log Homes: Timeless Character, Built to Last
Rich in warmth and tradition, our handcrafted log homes are made from sustainably harvested 10″ white pine or red cedar. With their natural thermal mass, they’re as energy-efficient as they are beautiful.
Ideal for:
Clients who love classic Adirondack or Catskills aesthetics, want solid log construction, and appreciate the cozy charm of wood-rich interiors.
Timber Frame Homes: Structural Beauty and Design Flexibility
Featuring posts and beams, timber frame homes offer strength and openness with the ability to blend rustic character and modern style. With pre-framed wall sections, you have the freedom to mix materials—both inside and out.
Ideal for:
Those who want dramatic architecture, open floorplans, or the ability to blend wood with drywall, stone, or other textures.
Hybrid Homes: The Best of Both Worlds 
Our hybrid homes combine elements of log and timber framing—offering warmth and tradition with architectural variety. You might see log walls paired with a timber-framed great room, or modern siding outside with rich wood interiors.
Ideal for:
Homeowners looking for visual balance, structural variety, or a home that combines rustic elegance with modern comfort.
Modern Rustic and Regional Styles
We also specialize in modern rustic, lakefront, and mountain lodge designs—homes that draw from regional influences while offering all the comforts of a contemporary build. These homes often feature large windows, natural stone, wide-open floorplans, and clean interior finishes that reflect the surrounding landscape.
Ideal for:
Clients building in the Finger Lakes, Adirondacks, or Catskills who want a home that blends seamlessly into its setting while offering modern amenities and indoor-outdoor living.
